Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (December 2021)

My name is Joe. I am the creator of https://awayto.dev which is a free open source web application platform. It uses React, Redux, Material UI, NodeJS, Typescript, Webpack, Postgres, Cognito, Lambda, CloudFormation, CloudFront, S3, API Gateway, as well as my own custom scripts. Awayto makes it fast to deploy low-cost web applications and then have a skilled developer come in and build up your application.

If you are looking for a consulting- or contract-based resource, I am interested and open to take on projects of many varieties. Over the last 10 years, my professional experience has touched on Education, Professional Consulting, IT Management, E-Commerce, and I hold my MA in English teaching. I have helmed numerous, extremely successful software development teams within the companies I have worked at, on projects of large complexity, some with millions of users and in revenue.

I'm working on an open-source library in a niche civil engineering field. I have a proprietary file format that I would like to decode and support.

I am almost certain the file is an SQLite database with the header changed, though my attempts to reconstruct the header and find any other changes have failed.

If you think you are up to the challenge, I've linked to some example files below, the first person who can share the procedure to update the file that it will open in a native SQLite reader I will pay a $2,000USD bounty or donate to a charity (your choice).

Email in profile, I'll post below if an answer has been accepted.

edit: This has been decoded and the bounty will be donated! Waiting for confirmation from the person who provided the script to decode the file and I will share results and proof of donation

I help startups with UX/UI and web design for their products, including design work for new and existing web apps, websites and landing pages. My background as a full stack developer and startup founder helps me come up with practical design solutions that balance usability, aesthetics, development effort and performance.

The best live example of my work is Checkbot (https://www.checkbot.io/), a browser extension that tests websites for SEO, speed and performance problems. The entire project is my own work including coding the extension itself, UX/UI design, website design (the desktop homepage is optimised to load in 0.7 seconds with only 0.3MB transferred), website copy, and website articles on web best practices.
